Is Africa's space age ready for blast off?
South Africa launched the continent\u2019s first satellite in 1999.\nSince then, African countries have launched more than 40 more into orbit.\nAnd over the next five years, there are plans to triple that number.\nSo, why is there such a scramble to put satellites in space? And how will they benefit people back on Earth?
